They got exactly what they deserved. They voluntarily traveled half-way around the world to kill people who had never done them any harm. They people they were trying to kill killed them first. That’s exactly how things should be. Let’s also remember that our troops have weapons far superior to anything possessed by the people they are trying to kill. Our troops are picking on someone who can’t fight back. That’s called bullying and cowardice. They got what bullies deserve.

you’d be killing “them” too if they invaded your land. less than 100 AQ in Afghanistan and Taliban are nothing more than freedom fighters in AFG.

They got a myopic fast tracked American education while being transformed into brainwashed killing machines. I do not called that educated. Men who work in offices are definitely better than men who take up arms and who invade other countries illegally and then proceed to kill the native population. These men are specialized in killing. Nothing more. The are robots who kill for a greedy criminal empire. Also as for brains, I hold three degrees. Speak and write 4 languages. I highly doubt there is my equal in the US military. If there is, there are not many. 99.99 of military personal are just grunts. Even these guys. Anyone that takes up arms and invades another country illegally and then proceeds in killing the native population, is a zero in my book.

These are no longer “Brave men and women” they know they are hired guns for the Military industrial complex! They are stupid people who listen to the Ad’s saying “be all that you can be” or ” join the navy see the world”. or ‘ get a college degree and serve your country” The only thing they are taught is how to kill people and who to kill. They sign up to kill people, plain and simple!

no, Millions. What can I say, Mr Freeze, the American public has become like a sheep. Those of us who make sense and touch the real problems America is facing are called “radical” , “lunatic”.

It’s a war. It’s an illegal war. We should leave and pay huge reparations.

VOTE GREEN PARTY 2012 Do you know how many afghans were killed since 2001? Didn’t think so. Do you know how many females were raped by US soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001? Didn’t think so.

We attack and invade then seem startled when people fight back. Did you think the Taliban and other Afghans fighting us would happily allow our soldiers to land and then attack them?

We created Bin Laden and Al Quaeda. The Taliban did nothing against the US. We create our own Frankensteins

[The helicopter] crashed because defense contractors are mostly unregulated and so keep most of the money while providing very little in return. De-regulation at its best.

The military is a waste of good men (and women), most of whom enlisted because they couldn’t even get a job at Wal-Mart.

special operations Troops are responsible for the ultra deadly “night raids” that basically murder people in their homes. Night raids generally kill Taliban personnel in their own homes, and thus outside the context of a military operation. we should celebrate the victory not the actual deaths but yes, they were occupying forces & a legitimate target.

The best way to honor soldiers is to stop making more of them.

Only Republicans see getting your legs blown off or losing your life as a necessary and worthwhile economic contribution to the greedy folks who bring you big profits for big business.

With over 1,000,000 dead Afghans as a result from US military invasion. I really doubt US military cares much about civilians deaths.

Does your heart go out to the families of the civilians … they killed?

Iraq and Afghanistan isn’t about moral values … it’s about corporations stealing other countries resources by force. Our military has two purposes: #1 Invade any country that doesn’t allow our corporations to take that country’s resources. #2 Invade any country that is a threat to Israel.

The Taliban are exactly the kind of thugs that emerge after foreign powers have finished destroying civil society and mined their resources. Any country that does not agree to our demands = genocide by the American government.

While the Taliban kills our soldiers overseas, Conservatives make sure their families will be homeless and sick from industrialized poisoning. When the soldiers come back, their discarded like old shoes. Capitalism makes Stalin’s Communism look like Utopia.

Well, that’s what war is. You kill some of theirs, and they kill some of yours. Don’t like it?

They fight for the interests of US energy corporations so our citizens can drive those huge Ford pickups.
